I’m enjoying the last bit of winter weather; It’s unusual to say that as those to the far north of me are getting hit with historic cold, however each time I see this happen, I give thanks yet again for living down south, then this was a option I made years and years ago, however and I for sure would trade a gas heating system for a heat pump all over again.
Actually, I knew I wanted to live in the south before I was even an adult, but my family would often vacation down here to get a cut from the snow, ice and all that heating inside the house.
I fell in love with this region and that feeling only grew. So I chose to go to college down here and never looked back! December is particularly pretty much the last full month of winter in this region, by March, plenty of my neighbors are already reaching for the control equipment and I hear the heat pumps kicking on. That’s usually my cue to get busy with my Heating as well as A/C savings strategy for the coming heat and humidity. Of course, any sort of Heating as well as A/C strategy has to start with an a/c tune up. So I will be calling to schedule that in the next week or so. But really, outside of keeping a tight seal on the home and mitigating direct sunshine heating, my Heating as well as A/C savings strategy is pretty simple. Essentially, I just wait as long as I can to leave the a/c on. This way, I get far more acclimated to the level of heat down here and that lowers my demand for a/c in the summer. As my pal and I transfer into December, I have to say that I’ll sure miss this perfect winter weather.
